I intended to remove the servo can and dump out the fluid. I realize that
this may be more difficult than it was in the Rover 2000TC, since in that
car the vacuum can was nowhere near the MC. No, I don;'t know how that
worked, either. I just know that I unbolted the vacuum can and was able to
shake it and hear the slosh. I had it repaired by a mechanic.
